Use HSTS preload compatible two-step redirect: For your site to take full advantage of HSTS and be eligible for the HSTS preload list it must redirect all insecure request to secure before redirecting to a different host. This means that a request to http://example.com
must first be redirected to https://example.com
before it can be redirected to https://www.example.com
. You can learn more here.
This setting creates the two-step redirect needed for the subdomain. This is only important if you enter data in Subdomain.
Redirect www to root domain: This setting redirects all request prepended with www.
to what you entered in Domain. It will only be processed if the Subdomain field is blank.
Use permanent 301 or temporary 302 redirects: You can choose whether you want the redirects to use permanent 301
redirects or temporary 302
redirects.
Redirect insecure proxy/load balancer requests to https: If your site serves content from behind a proxy, reverse-proxy, load balancer, or CDN you may need to handle X-Forwarded-Proto
and X-Forwarded-SSL
to upgrade insecure requests from that source.
